Are among the finest flowers in cultivation. Their variety of bloom, brilliancy 

 of coloring and long keeping characteristics render them general favorites. Pan- 

 sies have been in cultivation for hundreds of years, and are now produced in 

 almost infinite variety of form, color and markings. We have been interested in 

 the bringing forward of advanced types of large varieties, both in this country 

 and in Europe, and are able to say without boasting that our stocks are the very best obtainable. We spare no pains or 

 expense to satisfy the most critical trade. We every year visit the gardens of the most expert speciaUsts in Europe, and 

 we are in position to give our customers the benefit of their knowledge. The following list comprises the best kinds on 

 the market. Pansies do best in very rich, moist soil and cool, moist atmosphere. A situation sheltered from high winds 

 and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable. Frequent sprinklings are advantageous.
